works well on ipod touch (1st gen)

The ipod touch is great, except when it is -20C outside in Canada, and you want to wear gloves so your fingers won't freeze and fall off. That's when the touch isn't so great. So I've been looking for a remote for the touch for a while. [...]I was able to find the Griffin iFM here on Amazon...

Too many complaints for one good title

I have owned both this FM remote and the Apple fm remote. Both had the same main issue -- the wires tended to get tangled. However, I HIGHLY recommend the apple brand over the Griffin.These were the problems I had with it:- Volume. While there is a volume button on griffin, it doesn't get loud...

Great little tool

This little gadget is perfect for using my ipod while i ride my bike. It gives me the chance to change tracks and adjust volume so I dont have to interrupt my ride. I do wish it was a bit more sturdy as I have easily broken one before but at this price I dont feel bad about replacement

Awesome

This thing gets great reception, we live in a rural area and have a hard time getting any radio stations. This thing does great, gets all the stations that come in in our area. It is also very easy to use.

Nice FM Tuner for Ipods

The Griffin iFM is the ideal FM tuner for Ipods, especially the black colored ones. It has good FM reception and good sound quality, the built-in 6 presets and 3 bands (Japan, USA, Europe) are very useful for international travelers. It is almost perfect if not for the 2 small gripes, the small...

Buyer Beware!

In spite of the product description, this will not work as a wired remote for the ipod 3G. The radio works but you might feel a bit silly hauling around a $200+ ipod to serve as a battery for a radio. There has got to be a better way!Griffin iFM (Dock Connector) / FM Radio and Wired Remote...

A really bad choice

Save your money. The construction is extremely cheap. My Griffin iFM fell apart in a couple of months! I couldn't put it back together because the controls don't line up and the sides won't glue. I wish I could find another alternative but I can't find one. Besides that, one will have to carry...

Don't see the point

I bought the iFM to use with my new Nano. The only relationship it has with the Ipod is to use it for power. When you plug this into the Ipod, you now have 2 separate devices to carry; the Ipod does not even have to be on for the iFM to work. Ipod really needs to add the FM tuner because...

I don't own this...but consider these other options

I have both an iPod Nano and Sandisk Sansa e250. If you don't already own an iPod but is thinking of getting one along with this iFM Radio, consider this:Cost of iPod+FM = $145+$36=$181Cost of Sansa = $107The Sandisk (or even the Zen or the new Samsung) has many more features (MP3 player, Photo...

Value for money

Pros:Good FM receptiongood remote functionalityvalue for moneyCons:build qaulity seems to be fragile, it still intact for me.Eqaulizer button is too small to be usable.both ipod dock connector and head phone jack come from the bottom, it would have been better if headphone jack comes out of the top
